Like dirtsquirt Im definitely interested in enough to do a headliner with the thinner foam backing in place but no real rush - it did just start to sag though!! good timing
Well I will say this. Its cool in a way that the fabric is now available.
But its defiantly sad that the uniqueness of the cloth is no longer there anymore. I remember searching high and low for 2 sets of interiors to make my vert interior. I sold it for great money because of the uniqueness. The cost of making the interior isn't going to be any cheaper than finding a set out there. But of course its not going to have wear like the originals.
Im enjoying my M-Cross interior. Maybe its time to sell it after this season.
I doubt it. Ours can never be OEM, it's just an homage to the real deal. Besides, if you would get rid of it just because the resale value might suffer, you may not be as into those seats as you think. Keep 'em!
I understand not liking that the OEM seats may depreciate, but to be honest I think the value of the original fabric seats is more than just the rarity. I don't see this fabric having a huge impact on the price of good condition OEM interiors. I would however imagine that it may affect the demand of said interiors as there is now a reasonable alternative.
At the end of the day I jumped into this because I wanted M Rain in my Z3. But I couldn't afford the fabric (and then it went NLA!) nor could I justify ripping apart an OEM interior to "gut" it to get what I wanted for my interior. Then I realized there are tons of other guys out there lusting after this fabric who can't afford it. So at the end of the day I'm doing this to give every enthusiast a chance to build their dream BMW. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Absolutely…this won't depreciate any OEM interior set. It simply provides a rare pattern to the community that otherwise doesn't exist as they are NLA. And from the looks of it, the fabric is a spot on match. For instance, if you have an OEM set of cloth seats with wear and tear on one seat, this may be the only option to fix it. I'd love to see you do a test set of seats with this fabric and the alcantara to see what can be created. Any plans there?
I'd love to buy some from you once I get back into the M market!
This batch of material may be delayed slightly due to some extreme weather conditions over where the fabric is getting produced. I will update as things move along but for now they can only run the machines at night.

has anyone been quoted on having the fabric "installed"
I did. Scroll up a bit. Basically.. it's gonna vary a lot by the shop. The guy I settled on has a great reputation and does it by himself because he loves doing it. He quoted me $500/front seat $600 for back. Find a shop that won't charge you more than their written estimate.
His opinion on Alcantara yardage required, 3 yards for bare minimum 5 yards to be sure. Unless you want to do the headliner, you'll need 9-11 yards of Alcantara.
Next batch of M rain should be available by the end of the week... so figuring a few days for foam to be applied and about 10 days for shipping I hope to see this next batch will be shipping out by the end of the month

Most of the next 100 yards is presold. After I take care of the remaining preorders (96 yards preordered on the list) I will then look at doing another run to take care of additional orders and to keep the fabric in stock. It likely won't be ready for general purchase for a little while.

where are the pictures of people that bought!!1
It'll be late-September until my upholstery guy gets a slot open for me. Feels like an eternity.
The next 100 yards are getting foam applied today...!
I'm also looking forward to seeing some of this material installed in some cars. September isn't that far away

Is there going to be another list for the next shipment? And what will be the price per yard?
The list was just for initial preorders to get a discounted price. The next shipment will be addressing those on the list who did not get taken care of in the first order. Future orders will be full price and it will be kept in stock to keep it available for those who want it in the future.
The fabric should be available to those not on the list in about 1 month.

At foam now... should be smooth sailing from here on out for this order
The company who made the fabric says the design is too complicated and it sounds like they may not be producing more in the future. So this may change a few things (however if you are on the preorder list nothing will change). I will keep the thread updated with information as it becomes available to me...

make them do one more, I need a headliner! let me know if you have enough extra from this order and Ill cough up some $
Let me know how many yards you want so I can set some aside for you. I think most of it is getting foam applied now but if you let me know how many yards you want I can try to take care of that before it all has foam applied.
I should have enough for most orders including those who contacted me outside of the preorder list, but I just want people be aware that this won't be available forever. The factory did a larger run than we requested this time and told us they'd rather not run this design anymore.

Will they run any of the other M designs?
98 BMW /// M3
Yes we are working on other designs and those will not be impacted by this. It is just the specific design of the M rain they don't want to work with. M cross seems more complicated to me but we will see how things go. M tech for E30's is currently in production and they've made no mention of that fabric being difficult to produce.
There was a large run produced so its possible it will be available for a little while but this fabric does generate a lot of interest so its impossible to say for sure. I wouldn't say it's going to be out of stock immediately, but I would be a little surprised to see any of remaining through 2016.
